In an Other day, soft and careful-hearted
non-dual beings will come to disrupt politico-corporate
order and the police will take off their clothes
right down to their feet touching the ground.
Non-dual queers will climb platforms and podiums
where microphones will capture the sound of freedom
in song speak. Words will go in exile for silence
to usher a new era.The sky will smell of incense.
Weapons will haunt cavities in the earth
where steel aluminum copper and metal
were once extracted to target unwilling bodies
in lands that observed but could not act.
No one will be shot any where at all.
No one's home will be bombed by drones.
No one will have to survive amid debris and
the dead. Death will be a gathering a walk a dance
a song a howl a rivered permission to flow through
and alongside life. The wall built by the border
will crack on its own and trees will fill their branches
and thick green leaves along the crevices.
Border will no longer mean an end, the law
guards, documents, separation, concentration camps.
Everyone's hands will be tied to their hearts.
This connection will be one's passport.
Gender will come and go as it pleases.
There will no longer be a need to verify one's identity.
All the intersections and struggles or non-struggles
will be narrated by a four year old girl
in her own language. Sometimes there will be
only gestures. Sometimes loud screams. Sometimes
uncontrollable crying. No woman will go missing
or disappeared or killed from misogyny. Ni una menos.
Everyone will know at least one pain in their lineage.
This will slow people down.
The Amazon will recover.
The ice-caps will have no more need to mourn
in place of humans. The polar bears will go on living
safe in their heritage. There will no longer be countries.
Justice will be administered by the weather.
All the stolen settled lands will come
under the collective rule of ancestors passed
and ancestors to be. No one will own property.
There will be no desire to own anything.
Everyone will be aware of their feet and the channels
in their bodies. Money will be recycled into energy
to power stoves for cooking big meals
to feed everybody.
Food will be grown in balconies, living rooms,
backdoor gardens, rooftops and street sidewalks -
all green and dense in the summer
to cool down homes in the vicinity.
Cars will have long become extinct -
their parts transformed into residencies
where anyone can create without the need
to call themselves an artist.
People's race will be the pets they keep,
class will be the rituals they practice,
sex will be anything that gives one consensual pleasure.
Norms will be a name in a Dutch-speaking land -
pronounced Noomsh.
Time will be enough. And fear will always be
called in, listened to, transformed.
Public transport will be free.
Education will be free.
Freedom will mean freedom and peace
will mean peace.
There will still be suffering as there will still be joy,
but these will be experienced through the wisdom
of the stars and the planets and the galaxy,
meaning suffering will not be brought on or generate reactions
from earthly events. People will have mastered
breathing through difficulty.
Prisons will be abolished.
Punishment will be unnecessary.
Everyone will live and die
in uninterrupted cycles
of being and non-being.
The sun will rise and set
happily.
